Every parent should read

Revisado: 05-20-23

Whether you agree or disagree with the recommendations for action in the book the studies are so compelling to take action in some form or fashion against our cultural mistruths. We are at risk of doing our children a great injustice by keeping them too safe

Couldn't have said it better myself

Revisado: 05-14-20

This book presents 40 wonderful answers to the question: "Why am I not hearing the voice of God?" It is a story formed setting of a first person telling of chasing after God through the wilderness. Songs and poetry are mixed throughout the recording as well as a delightful presentation of varying characters. I would highly recommend this book to all who seek.

Disclaimer: Ken Read is my father and I have never been more proud of one of his writings than that of this work. His influence in my life continues to bless me and my children and I pray that this book would be a small portion of sharing in that blessing

If That's What You're Into...

Revisado: 08-08-19

This book seemed to be more about personal revelation then about scriptural truths and teaching. If that's what you're into then this is a great book. It is not my cup of tea.

Good information

Revisado: 07-28-19

The info is great & worthwhile; the title is misleading. Definitely worth reading. Narrator is monotone.

You Can't Make Up a Story this Heart-Breaking

Revisado: 08-04-17

What didn’t you like about Cara Brookins’s performance?

She read the whole thing with too monotone a voice. The stories themselves were extremely well written, but the performance was not engaging.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Yes. It would be either a thriller or a horror movie with inspirational tones throughout.

Any additional comments?

No family should have to go through this. It is a terrible story. It is an inspiring story. It is an amazing account of tenacity and grit. God bless this home and family.

A Book Every Young White Male Should Read

Revisado: 08-04-17

What made the experience of listening to Policing the Black Man the most enjoyable?

The essays present a side of the #blacklivesmatter story that a privileged white male is unfamiliar with. These essays helped open my eyes to the need to educate America on racism and how the political system needs to be educated in policing more equally.

Any additional comments?

The reason I didn't give it a 5 star rating is due to the selection of essays the editor (Angela Davis) chose. Once you hear the first 2 or 3 essays you have heard basically the entire book. The following essays use the same examples of police brutality and make the same basic points. I heard the same quote two or three times about how "America is moving towards two societies, one white, one black -- separate and unequal." I really wish the editor had done a better job presenting new material throughout the book as a whole.

You won't want to hit pause!

Revisado: 10-25-16

What did you love best about Out of the Depths?

The story of courage and faith is truly inspirational. This first-hand account of the chilling story of the USS Indianapolis is a thriller that also points towards faith in God.

What did you like best about this story?

There were several moments I found myself holding my breath along with the author as he accounted the rising waves and the circling sharks. A great first-hand account.

What about Eric Martin’s performance did you like?

He read it convincingly

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Surviving the countless perils of the open water

Any additional comments?

I would have loved to have had different vocal inflections when Eric Martin got to the quotes in the book from other survivors.

Power trip

Revisado: 07-07-16

If you are a type A, strong willed, extrovert who doesn't mind forcing your views, opinions, and life styles on others, then you will love this book.
But even if you are you won't learn anything that the title of the book doesn't already tell you. "Try harder than other people and you will become successful." He spends an awful lot of time finding new ways to say the same thing over and over again. I gave up on it halfway through.

With that said, maybe all the nuggets are in the back half if the book, who knows? I decided my time was more valuable engaging in a book that was more constructive
